IContrasts of Two Berlins old By Hans Hirschfeld
NAMED QUEEN - Joan Price will be crowned SC's first baseball queen at a pep rally inaugurating "Baseball Week" on campus.
By Andy Dimas
Berlin is a city of contrasts that lies at the crossroads of ‘two worlds.”
This is the picture that was Irawn Thursday afternoon ^y Dr. Hans Hirschfeld, anti-lazi in Wofld War II and jresent anti-Communist public affairs director for the \rest Berlin Senate.
Dr. Hirschfeld spoke on what > happening in Berlin “In the thadow of the Iron Curtain.” as I art of a series of talks he is de- : vering while on a tour sponsor-by the Berlin Senate.
Constant Contrast “The inhabitants of Berlin are iving in two separate worlds in onstant contrast with each oth-fr. divided by an in^ginary line.” . |-« West Berlin representative a,d.
The Western and Eastern sectors or Berlin are different in jnany ways, from their econom-?s. and governments, to their srsonal modes of life, he said. “Each section has a different , -renew The West Berliners |
who work in the East section are paid in a different currency than they must have to live in their own section,” Dr. Hirschfeld said.
Solve Differences He said this is only one of the problems which has faced the people in the German city.
To solve the currency differences an exchange commission has been set up in each zone where the inhabitants living and working in the two sections can exchange their monies.
“There has been some grumbling about differences in the Eastern and Western mark but most of the people are quite content with the solution.” he said.
Live in Oppression On one side of the imaginary line separating the East from the West is a people living in oppression without the freedoms of speech, assembly, press, or religion.
“On the other side, in the West zone, is a people living in a democracy, free to act and think as they want, reconstructing the city they love,” the 61-year-old German statesman said.

A few hours before SC battles it out with Stanford on Bovard Field, Joan Price will be crowned baseball queen at a giant pep rally, in Bovard Auditorium.
The noon “Beat Stanford” gathering will be the beginning of the final two climatic days of “Baseball Week” activity on campus.
Following the rally, at 2:45 p.m. the Trojans, defend i n g champions of the California Intercollegiate Baseball Asociation, will meet the Stanford Indians, the second rated team last year, in the first of two crucial games. Queen Crowned Highlight of the lunch rally will be the crowning of Joan Price, as SC’s first baseball queen, by co-captains John Garten and John Stevenson of the varsity team.
Miss Price was chosen queen from a field of 12 contestants Tuesday afternoon by a five-man committee. Those making the selection were Rod Dedeaux, head baseball coach; Tommy Walker, director Trojan Band; Harry Nelson, director of student activities; Stevenson, and Howard Smith, president of the Trojan Knights, who are in charge of “Baseball Week.”
The queen’s two attendants, or ! honorary batgirls, Sandy Hardin. ! AOPi, and Barbara O’Callaghan, | Independent Women’s Council j representative, will also be pre- j sented.
The entire varsity baseball squad, Walker’s Pep Band, and Don Ward and his yell crew, will 1 also participate in the activities, j Game Crucial The basebal game series must definitely be termed “crucial” for | both sides, as far as champion- j ship hopes are concerned. Last’! year the Indians came in second i because they couldn’t beat the top team, the Trojans.
In four meetings, SC won three. In the fina lstandings, Stanford trailed by two.
SC is faced with a mild “must win.” It’s a little early to rule teams out of the race, but should the Trojans drop this series, the chances of gaining a fifth straight CIBA championship would be narrowed considerably.
The Trojans suffered an upset loss 10-6 in the season’s opener against UCLA last Saturday.
This will be Stanford’s first conference game.
Trojans Favored Despite having arleady taken a 'league loss, the Trojans must be favored. These are almost the same two teams that faced each other last year. Only major Indian less is shortstop Warren Goodrich. Troy is an all veteran team.
Stanford had the league’s outstanding pitching staff last year, but was weak at the plate, as is true this season.
WELL PREPARED — These happy and costumed Trojanes are all ready and rarin' to go for the "World of Fun" at the Y carnival that
is scheduled for tonight from 4:30 to 11 p.m. Y personnel report that more than 20 groups have planned booths
300 Students Will Attend Newspaper Day Tomorrow
Each Berlin has its own theaters, transportation systems, and gas, water, and power companies, he added.
Going Forward
“Even though the people are living in two worlds they are still going forward. Reconstruction of homes, businesses, and industries is taking place throughout the free -par of Berlin,” Dr. Hirschfeld said.
“There are still many unemployed persons in West Berlin and we are striving in every way to reconstruct our city so these persons can find jobs.
We are also showing the people of East Berlin that we are able ! to strengthen the democracy which exists in our Berlin,” he said.
At The Crossroads .
By their steps forward the free Berliners are drawing people from other parts of Germany to | see how they are living “at the crossroads of the two worlds,’’ Dr. Hirschfeld said.
The West Zoners are working constantly at. rebuilding their I great cultural showplaces.

Chen Lecture Will Outline Role Of China in Red Conquest Plan
By Jeanine StHes
Concrete ways in which the Chinese Communist program fits in with the world plan for a proletarian-socialist revolution will be named by Dr. Theodore H. Chen, head of the department of Asiatic studies, in Wednes-
day’s Graduate School dinner.
Speaking to the 22nd annual research lecture and dinner which will be held at 6:15 Wednesday night in Town and Gown Banquet Hall, Dr. Chen will summarize the major trends in Communist China toward this revolution. Tickets for the dinner will be sold for $1.75 in the ticket office, second floor of the Student Union, until the deadline at noon Monday.
Department Head Since 1941
With the exception of a few months spent in the Far East,
Dr. Chen has been head of Asiatic §tudies since 1941.
He was president of Fukien Christian University in China during 1946. In 1954 he founded a new university in Formosa, and served as president.
For the past five years Dr. Chen has done intensive research, analyzing the nature and context of Chinese Communist publications. The research lecture he will present next week is based on this investigation.
“There are five major trends in the Chinese proletarian-socialist revolution,” Dr. Chen commented Thursday. The Communists’ agrarian, socilal, and economic reforms are means to this definite end.”
The first of these reforms was designed to strengthen the proletarian character of the party by enlisting the support of the peasant class. Since China is still not industrialized and therefore has a
small working class, the Communists must turn to the peasants for allies.
Second, Dr. Chen said that the Chinese Communists “have continued to stress that the class struggle is a necessary process leading finally to the dictatorship of the proletariat.” This struggle, he pointed out, is indicated by the liquidation of the landlord class in the rural areas and the attempted elimination of the cit-ie’s bourgeoisie.
“They have also stepped up the transition toward socialism,” said Dr. Chen, indicating the general phases necessary to reach complete socialism—from private enterprise, then to semi-public ownership, and finally to enterprise completely owned and operated by the state.
For the fourth trend. Dr. Chen showed how the Communists have tightened governmental con
! trols. “Every reorganization of government since the beginning of the regime in 1949 has resulted in greater centralization of
I
power,” he said.
Dr. Chen indicated that the last of the major steps is the Chinese Communist pledge of unswerving loyalty to the cause of world revolution.
“They consider their own revolution in China as only a part ot the world-wide proletarian-socialist revolution.
“They continue to pay high honor to the Soviet Union ani are ever ready to join the Soviet bloc in a coordinated policy. They willingly accept the leadership of Russia.”
Dr. Chen said people are often under the illusion that the Chinese Communists are a “particu-
! lar brand of Communist—more Chinese than Communist.’
“I maintain,” he said, “that they are regular Communists, thoroughly committed to the program of the proletariat-socialist world revolution.”
Dean Stanley R. Townsend of the Graduate School feels that ! this annual research lecture is “perhaps the highest honor which
1 the university can bestow upon a faculty member.”
Called “Distinguished”
“Certainly this year’s appointment of Professor Chen as research lecturer brings the attention of the university to one of ' its most distinguished faculty members.”
Preceding the dinner a conference on Far Eastern problems, open to the public, will be held I from 4 to 5:30 Wednesday after-I noon in 133 FH,
